Journal Article
Mekako, A., Hatfield, J., Bryce, J., Lee, D., Heng, M., McCollum, P., & Chetter, I. (2006). Combined endovenous laser therapy and ambulatory phlebectomy: refinement of a new technique. European journal of vascular and endovascular surgery : the official journal of the European Society for Vascular Surgery, 32(6), 725-729. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejvs.2006.06.002

Objective. Sclerotherapy (IS) or ambulatory phlebectomy (AP) are required as subsequent interventions in majority of cases following endovenous laser therapy (EVLT). We assessed whether AP performed concomitantly with EVLT (EVLTAP), is effective, acc... Read More about Combined endovenous laser therapy and ambulatory phlebectomy: refinement of a new technique.

Background: The aim was to compare early postoperative subjective outcome measures in a randomized trial of multiple stab incision phlebectomy (MSIP) and transilluminated powered phlebectomy (TIPP) for the treatment of varicose veins. Methods: Patien... Read More about Randomized clinical trial comparing multiple stab incision phlebectomy and transilluminated powered phlebectomy for varicose veins.

Heat shock proteins in vascular disease - a review (2005)
Journal Article
Mehta, T., Greenman, J., Ettelaie, C., Venkatasubramaniam, A., Chetter, I., & McCollum, P. (2005). Heat shock proteins in vascular disease - a review. European journal of vascular and endovascular surgery : the official journal of the European Society for Vascular Surgery, 29(4), 395-402. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejvs.2005.01.005

Introduction
There is growing evidence that heat shock proteins (HSPs), a family of stress-inducible proteins may be involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerotic vascular diseases. Here, we systematically review the evidence behind this notion.... Read More about Heat shock proteins in vascular disease - a review.

A Comparative Study of Aortic Wall Stress Using Finite Element Analysis for Ruptured and Non-ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms*1 (2004)
Journal Article
VENKATASUBRAMANIAM, A., FAGAN, M., MEHTA, T., MYLANKAL, K., RAY, B., KUHAN, G., CHETTER, I., & MCCOLLUM, P. (2004). A Comparative Study of Aortic Wall Stress Using Finite Element Analysis for Ruptured and Non-ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms*1. European journal of vascular and endovascular surgery : the official journal of the European Society for Vascular Surgery, 28(2), 168-176. https://doi.org/10.1016/S1078-5884%2804%2900178-9

Background. The decision to repair an asymptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is currently based on diameter (greater than or equal to 5.5 cm) alone. However, aneurysms less than 5.5 cm do rupture while some reach greater than 5.5 cm without rup...

Temporary balloon catheter occlusion for control of haemorrhage following penetrating axillary artery injury (2004)
Journal Article
Mehta, T., Venkata Subramaniam, A., Chetter, I., Nicholson, A., & Wilkinson, A. (2004). Temporary balloon catheter occlusion for control of haemorrhage following penetrating axillary artery injury. European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery Extra, 8(2), 29-30. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejvsextra.2004.05.014

Penetrating injuries of the axillary artery are uncommon. Their repair can be difficult in the presence of torrential haemorrhage, which obscures the surgical field. We describe the use of interventional radiology for temporary control of bleeding to...
